Laborer

I founded Black Label Advisor in 2020 after I sold my e-commerce business for $5 million. After I exited, I immediately felt the calling to start providing strategic consulting to brand owners looking to scale but not have to hire a full management agency. 

The response has been phenomenal.  I have consulted 100+ brands ranging from total beginners to 7+ figure legends like Caden Lane, Skin Grip, and Dr. Sebagh. My clients make up more than $100 million in Amazon revenue. 

I enjoy working with brand owners who have aggressive growth strategies and are willing to expand off of Amazon to diversify their revenue. Amazon is just the beginning!

My specialty is helping brand owners grow their online presence rapidly, increase profits, expand the revenue channels, and optimize for a lucrative 7+ figure exit.

My mission has remained the same: provide a high level of service for my clients from a place of experience and authenticity. Most gurus you'll run into have never sold on Amazon. Be careful out there!

If consulting isn't a need, I hope you find immense value from my daily social media posts and weekly newsletter!
